It’s all but a complete lock that the Championship will hit the $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool before the first break, the question is how high will it go by the time registration closes at 10:15pm.

One of the new entries is SHRP favorite Sheddy Siddiqui. The South Florida pro has plenty of big results including a deep WSOP Main Event run, second place in the Coco WSOP Circuit Main Event a few weeks ago, and fourth place in this tournament last year.

A WPT Championship, WSOP bracelet winner, and a two-time SHRPO Big 4 champ sit down at a table.

A rough few spots for Table 10 to get through with WPT Jacksonville winner Tony Tran, 2017 WSOP $3,000 bracelet owner Harrison Gimbel, and 2017/2018 back-to-back $2,650 SHRPO Big 4 champ Alex Foxen in the 5-6-7 seats. Making things a little tougher, former SHRP Player of the Year contender Nigel Murray occupies the 8-seat.

There are few soft tables but this one seems to be a little harder than most.

We had a great group of players yesterday and we can expect much of the same today as we roll out the second and final starting flight of the $2 Million GTD WPT RRPO Championship.

This is the sixth running of the RRPO Championship and it has continued to grow throughout the years. We’ve had six different champions with three of them in the field so far.

First it was defending champ Michael Newman and 2013 winner Matt Waxman took a seat a little later. Now we have Jacob Bazeley in his seat and the 2015 champ is a regular fixture in our games. Rounding out the list of winners, we still expect to see Victor Figueroa (2012), Chris Bolek (2014), and Patrick Mahoney (2016).
